How do I convert the Oblivion global "GameHour" into an Hour:Minute clock. I tried following the tutorial on the wiki, but it keeps giving me "0" for the minute. I looked at other mods that do the same thing, but I keep getting "0" for the minute. Math isn't my strongest subject, but I can do simple equations. And following what they do, I get "0". So how does it work for them?

Can you not use the http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/GetCurrentTime function?

You want to display as HH:MM?

GameHour gives the hour as a float, so you have to put it in a variable defined as a float, not a short.

You might have better luck using http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/GetCurrentTime.

Well, crapola! says I...

I just figured out how to convert the hour using GameHour into an HH:MM:SS format. I really need to browse the wiki more aggressively. Well, for anybody who's interested, here's the script:

...Set fTotalOblivionSeconds to fOblivionTime * 3600.0Set fOblivionHours to fTotalOblivionSeconds / 3600Set fOblivionMinutes to (fTotalOblivionSeconds / 60) % 60Set fOblivionSeconds to fTotalOblivionSeconds % 60...

Thanks for the responses. I may go ahead and use GetCurrentTime, as it's more efficient.

I just looked at the "GetCurrentTime" function, and it is identical to "GameHour", except it's a short instead of a float. I think I'll stick with what I have.

Actually, GameHour and GetCurrentTime return exactly the same value.

Oh, okay. Well WillieSea said one was a float and the other was a short. I guess they are both shorts?

Have a look at http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Category:Time_Functions page, it tells you all about them

No, I said it returns a float. So if you are saving it in a 'short' variable type, you will probably get 0 for minutes since a short would truncate the decimal places, and thus the minutes.

Oh, my mistake. Misunderstood. Sorry.
